Since you are asking this in the critical illness section I will assume you have health insurance. Your major medical health insurance plan will pay the bulk of your medical bills but you will still be personally responsible for your out of pocket costs including copay's, deductibles, coinsurance and so forth.

Unfortunately people who have cancer or any condition and no health insurance are responsible for paying out of pocket for treatments, surgeries if necessary and hospital confinement. Try negotiating with your doctors and hospital before during and after treatments to help keep your costs down.
Depending on your budget you have a couple of insurance options: 1) You could get a more affordable guaranteed issue policy (fixed indemnity) immediately. It will not cover cancer realted procedures and treatments but will cover most everything else which will help prevent further health related debt. 2) Beginning October 1, 2013 you can get "Obamacare" coverage through your state insurance exchange despite any pre existing condition you may have.
